Nice chapter. Oda really knows how to make people root for his characters no matter how minor them are. It's just like the girl from Fisher Tiger's flashback. Last week was action then this week is about emotion.

I didn't find that chapter that great. I mean Oda went into detail with a character who we barely know about, and I barely care about. Felt like next to no progress was made. I mean I know Oda gave us this flash back for a reason, but until it's known, it felt like he was trying to stall for time.

Are you nuts?! We just saw a child selflessly swallow a TON of poison to save her friends from their own deaths, and you thought it was a waste of time?! Bullocks, sir! You are too picky.

But no, the flashback was probably not meant to do much more than show us why Mocha was the only one who is still sane, and was putting herself in so much danger to keep the drugs away from the other kids. Also, why Chopper feels so guilty now. It was bad enough that he felt responsible for something COMPLETELY out of his control (that they didn't find the kids sooner than now). Now that he--a doctor--is pretty much responsible for the (likely) death of little girl, he's gonna lose his mind.

Holy crap that would be awesome! That plays right into Luffy's tendency to stumble himself into traps (getting tricked by Moria's shadow in the woods, getting a massive ball of gold attached to his hand, getting himself stuck in the concrete against Arlong). And since he's immune to poison, seeing a wax version of Luffy punching Caesar in his shit would be ripe for comedy gold!
